Hillary’s Secret Email Was a Cyberspy’s Dream Weapon.....

When a notorious online break-in artist got a hold of the Secretary of State’s now-infamous email address, he gave himself the power to use it to target the global elite. The private email address for Hillary Clinton, which became the talk of Washington this week and created her first major speed bump on her road to the White House, has actually been freely available on the Internet for a year, thanks to a colorful Romanian hacker known as Guccifer.

On March 14, 2013, Guccifer—his real name is Marcel-Lehel Lazar—broke into the AOL account of Sidney Blumenthal, a journalist, former White House aide to Bill Clinton, and personal confidante of Hillary Clinton. Lazar crowed about his exploits to journalists, disclosing a set of memos Blumenthal had written to Clinton in 2012, as well as the personal email address and domain she’s now known to have used exclusively for her personal and official correspondence. Few journalists noticed that at the time, and it caused no ruckus in Washington. But the fact that Clinton’s private email was now public means she was not just putting her own information at risk, but potentially those in the circle of people who knew her private address.

Her email account was the ultimate hacker’s lure. It’s a common technique to impersonate a trusted source via email, in order to persuade a recipient to download spyware hidden inside seemingly innocuous attachments. Indeed, Clinton’s own staff had been targeted with such highly targeted “spear phishing” emails as early as 2009, the year she took office. And according to U.S. authorities, Lazar, who’s now serving a seven-year prison sentence in Romania and is accused of hacking the accounts of other Washington notables like Colin Powell, did commandeer other people’s email accounts. Then he used them to send messages exposing the private correspondence of his other victims. Before Lazar exposed the email domain, it would have been known to people with whom Clinton was trading emails, as well as to a tight inner circle lucky enough to be given @clintonemail.com accounts. Those included Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, and aide Huma Abedin, whom the former secretary treats like family. Maybe Clinton and her staff thought the relative anonymity of her email domain would have given her a measure of security. It’s hard to say, since they and State Department officials have consistently refused to answer journalists questions about what security measures Clinton took to protect her “homebrew” email system......snip~

What is it you are trying to say Pete. Yes all know this guy hacked Blumenthal's account. What part don't you get that he got Clintons Email Address from Blumenthal and then used it to gain access to others? That he was using her domain. Whats so hard to figure out about that Pete?

Now you know why the AP and Judicial Watch, want all correspondence that Clinton and her aide Huma Abedin had with Morsi's Wife!!!!!

I don't know. I'm guessing. Most executives do NOT delegate their email, especially sensitive emails. If you worked for any organizations where executives delegated sensitive emails to Administrative Assistants, I'd like to know more about that. I never in 35 years of working heard of such a thing.

I don't know if Obama knew what her email address was or not. He should have - I know where all of my emails are going. But if he didn't that doesn't matter either. I have a lot of issues with Obama, and that isn't one of them.

These hypothetical "reasons" dear leader could never be a wrongdoer of any kind, only convince me Obama is a fool and an incompetent. I have no idea what technology "companies" you have worked for, but no executive I have dealt with uses a blind for his communications. Like any politician he would have aids to deal with constituency business, but him not knowing where his replies were going is pretty lame. he learned about on TV and now he never looked at the addresses....AFTER having had the rules changed SPECIFICALLY for this reason.

Knowing that his reply was going to Hillary Clinton and knowing which of her email addresses they are going are not the same thing. When I send an email using my employer's email system I type the name of the person I'm sending it to. I don't know the actual email address associated with that name. I don't need to know. I just know it's going to Joe Smith.

And the point of all this simply Obama's explanation is not implausible. Could he be lying? Certainly. But there is no reason to assume so based on his statement that he didn't know where the email was going.
